Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds

Power-packed portable workstation for pros

TWO screens (one a 17-inch with 1920x1200 resolution and the other a 10.6 inch-wide display that extends
the display area by 39 per cent) in a portable computer do not make an everyday laptop.


Although it is touted as a mobile workstation, this is a heavy machine (4.96kg) which is not likely to be lugged around often.

Even so, it is portable and, true to its workstation billing, the built-in specifications are impressive:
dual-core, quad-core and Extreme Intel processors options; integrated Wacom digitiser, dual integrated hard-disk bays; provision for SSD drives to improve data-access speeds; and native Dual Link DVI-D
plus DisplayPort digital monitor connectivity.

Lenovo is targeting professional users with this machine. Given its power and portability, designers (graphics, CAD/ CAM), photographers and scientists would find it useful.

How much: Price for basic configuration starts from $9,000 and varies depending on configuration.
